Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lucinda, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Lucinda includes detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
